hmm.. it looks like they've possibly changed the date since I created this list. The imdb release date page for it lists a limited release in December 1966 and then the next date is May 1969 at Cannes. The trivia page says it had private screenings in 1966 and the first official screening was in 1969.

Now I'm not sure if I should change it. Thanks for pointing it out though. :D

I'm afraid there's no set guidelines for my ratings other than my own subjective views. I'd be happy to elaborate my views on certain films if there's something you're interested in hearing my opinion on though. :D

It's amazing how often regional releases are ruined by companies deciding to change certain aspects of the film. DVDBeaver.com has compiled a whole list of comparisons of films and their differences between regions: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/compare.htm

Wes Anderson - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Hal Ashby - Harold and Maude is all I've seen and I hated it
Kevin Smith - Clerks.
Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction
Stanley Kubrick - The Killing
P.T. Anderson - Boogie Nights
Errol Morris - The Fog of War is all I've seen and I thought it was okay
